The air compressor MUST be bolted to a level, solid concrete
surface. Use 3/8" lag screws, vibration pads and concrete
anchors. If help is needed anchoring the air compressor consult
a licensed contractor.

Wiring Instructions
WARNING:
Improper electrical installation of this product
may void its warranty and your fire insurance. Have circuit wiring
performed by qualified personnel such as a licensed electrician

who is familiar with the current national electrical code and any
prevailing local electrical codes.
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock. Improper electrical
grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be
done by a qualified electrician.
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:
1.
The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate.
Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage
and amperage requirements.
2.
The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for this information.
NOTE: The wiring used must be rated for the motor nameplate
voltage, plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended
wire sizes, correct wire size, and maximum wire run; undersize wire
causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Electrical wiring must be
located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly,
compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
Grounding Instructions
This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring
system, of and equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
product.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
